RMweb Gold Donw Posted May 31, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2023 Some good music there the Jim Croce one had kind of slipped out of my mind but Sundown is a perennial favourite. I do hope the words are not appropriate. Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dose back in the autumn laid me low for a couple of days but I was well on the mend by the end of Day three. The trite advice of keeping well hydrated and taking paracetamol seemed to help.

Oh dear. Not good, Tim....not at all. I must admit to being a bit twitchy on the flight home last night. One chap behind us had a particularly persistent cough which got one thinking. Elsewhere, I see Al, ( Barryten) recently copped a packet whilst in Holland..... Today's plans to hit the ground running regarding Project 'S' took a nose dive when we arrived home at Chateau Sheep at 4am after a delayed flight ( avoidance of flak over Malaga apparently ) and what was believed to be a successful attempt to escape and evade the Bristol Clear Air Zone after leaving the aerodrome. This was then compounded by the Memsahib, who is ordinarily world class at Egyptian P.T, bizarrely awakening at 07.30hrs Zulu time. Then there was the fact that the catering department had failed to replenish the blue top prior to embarkation leading to a marking inability to supply morning coffee to the required S.O.P. End result..........carnage of the first order requiring an unforseen sortie to the shops.....that in itself was tricky as we immediately noticed a slight temperature imbalance compared to yesterday's breakfast.........actually some 24° less this morning.....on reflection, shorts and t-shirt was indeed unsuitable. Oh.....and during this morning's debrief over a later than anticipated breakfast, my decision to whistle the Colonel Bogey March whilst queuing to enter the departure lounge waiting area was " not good " and probably contributed to us being "carefully selected" for an additional "random search" by the authorities prior to boarding the flight........ So no trains today. Rob 1 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted June 2, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Morning all, It's all gone a bit Rapido hereabouts. A few examples of their SE&CR 6 wheel brake van have landed, both their own and a couple of single veranda types from Rails. Truly exceptional and worth the money. Updates may follow.

Indeed, but the phrase is from a good eighty years ago and I think that the obesity crisis went global in the 1990s. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
